Dresdner Bank, one of the world’s leading investment banks, is facing an exceptional claim for sexual discrimination by of women employees, including one of Indian origin, at Dresdner who quote a “pervasive pattern and practice” of biased behavior.



DKW is being sued for $US1.4billion - and this amount makes it one of the biggest ever sex discrimination seen in the financial hearts of the City of London and in New York’s Wall Street.Women employees in the Dresdner complaint said the bank failed to pay them as much as men, did not promote them as often as men, and denied them equal job opportunities.
